Nights of Azure Pre-Order Bonus Content

Koei Tecmo today revealed information regarding in-game pre-order bonus content for Nights of Azure, a dark, demon-centric RPG and brand new IP from the studio behind the Atelier series, GUST. Additionally, Koei Tecmo expanded upon details on protagonist Arnice’s base of operations as well as her character progression system, as showcased by multiple gameplay videos. Nights of Azure will launch exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on March 29th.

When she isn’t fending off shadowy shapes and demonic dragons on the streets of Ruswal, Arnice takes solace in a local hotel to rest, trade, and prepare for the inevitable coming of the next night. At the Hotel, Arnice can buy and sell weapons and a variety of gear to aid her in battle and, after certain quests have been completed, she can trade with Lloyd, the merchant, and order rare and powerful items. Arnice can also pick up quests from the Hotel’s proprietor, Simon, to earn money and various items, as well as gain interesting insight into the lore and backstory of Nights of Azure. Furthermore, Arnice can gain entry to the Arena via the Hotel, which can be used to hone her skills and earn special rewards.

In addition to the information involving enemy combatants, Hotel activities, and Arena battles in Nights of Azure, Koei Tecmo announced today that those pre-ordering the game through Amazon, EB Canada, and GameStop will receive an additional supporting character – Gust-Chan. Unlike other supporting characters in Nights of Azure, players can use Gust-Chan in battle. Pre-ordering Nights of Azure via those retailers will also yield players a custom PlayStation 4 theme based on Gust-Chan. Those who pre-order from Best Buy will receive two custom PlayStation 4 themes based on Nights of Azure.
